Many of us film NBTV with modern digital cameras, and bad flicker is the generally the result as the camera is too
fast for our old slow NBTV frame rate of 12 1/2 per sec.
To avoid the dreaded flicker a slow shutter speed is required but
most cameras have a slowest speed in the region of 1/50 sec.
I have been trying to find out what the difference is between a 'slow shutter speed' and 'sense up' now built into some mini cameras.
(I may need something like this on my Nipkow Nipper. )
MY old Sony digital camera does have a slow shutter speed facility but no 'sense up.'
'Sense up' can be up to x250. Looking on the net seems to indicate that this refers to x250 exposure time.
I believe that 'sense up' is short for 'Sensitivity up' and the camera's image chip is given a longer exposure
to enable it to see in the dark...called Starlight cameras.
So I cannot see the difference betwee this and a slow shutter speed, if any, bearing in mind that digi cameras do not have a mechanical shutter as such.
Has anyone here had experience of this and can throw some light (!) on these 2 terms and the exact difference, if any, between them?
